MHD nonlinear convective flow of thixotropic nanofluid with chemical reaction and Newtonian heat and mass conditions

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nonlinear convective flow of thixotropic nanofluid within the frame of chemical reaction is addressed. Thermal radiation and heat generation/absorption are utilized in the energy expression. Intention in present analysis is to develop a model for nanomaterial comprising Brownian motion and thermophoresis phenomena. Characteristics of fluid flow and heat and mass transfer are investigated by using Newtonian heat and mas conditions. The partial differential systems governing the fluid flow, heat and mass transfer are transformed to non-dimensional form utilizing suitable variables. The convergent solutions of nonlinear system is computed. Impact of different quantities on fluid flow, thermal field and nanoparticle concentration are displayed and discussed. Calculation for skin friction coefficient and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are arranged and analyzed for the behaviors of pertinent variables. It is concluded that velocity enhances in frame of Hartman number. Temperature via Brownian motion and thermophoresis has similar qualitative behavior. Moreover impact of chemical reaction on the nanoparticle concentration and local Sherwood number is quite reverse.
